BARNEY FIFE TRIBUTE AND CLEAN COMEDY ACT
Join Mitchell Opera House for a meet & greet with the #1 Barney Fife Tribute AND a clean, family-friendly comedy show!
Clean comedian Rik Roberts brings the big laughs without the bad words!!
Comedian and creative keynote speaker Rik Roberts grew up in Kentucky. He farmed tobacco alongside his father from an early age. Later, as a teenager he worked for former Kentucky Wildcat and NBA Star Dan Issel on his Thoroughbred horse farm “Courtland”. After earning a degree in communications from Bethany College, Rik worked for Simon & Schuster in Columbus, OH. He joined a nationally touring comedy troupe “Midwest Comedy Tool & Die” [MCTD] in 1992. Shortly thereafter, he decided to jump head first into stand-up comedy. He now has nearly 30 years of headlining experience across the United States and abroad. He is the International spokesman for “Bin There, Dump That”. He also was a writer and performer on “The Henry Cho Comedy Show” on Great American Country.
He has been featured on DryBar Clean Comedy, Clean Comedy All-Stars (Pure Flix), Chonda Pierce’s “Stand-Up For Families” (DOVE), Huckabee(TBN), 20 Greatest Redneck Moments (CMT), and is a regular on SiriusXM Radio’s Laugh USA and Jeff and Larry’s Comedy Round Up. He also co-starred in the movie “Mayberry Man”(Amazon Prime) where he portrays a Barney Fife tribute artist. The movie has now been spun off into a series. Aside from his comedy shows, Rik is on a mission to raise over one million dollars for charities and non-profits through his Bike4Bucks.com cycling challenge. After surviving cancer, he decided to ride 25,000 miles on his bike (the distance around the globe) while raising funds for others as well as spreading awareness about cancer screenings and early detection. Rik is a member of the National Speakers Association, and former President of the Christian Comedy Association. He lives in Nashville, TN with his wife, son and daughter–all of which provide a lot of comedy for his show.

2024-02-17 19:00 - 21:00 | The Mitchell Opera House, 217 North 7th Street, Mitchell, IN, 47446, United States
CODY IKERD AND THE SIDEWINDERS
Cody Ikerd & The Sidewinders will perform a live honky tonkin’ country concert at the historic Mitchell Opera House on February 17th at 7:00 p.m.!
The feeling I got from performing on a drum set in front of a few people at my middle school festival sent me on a journey I would’ve never expected. I’ve been hooked on music ever since. Growing up in Bedford, IN, I played drums in a few different bands (alt. rock, pop punk, blues, etc.) from ages 14 to 25. I’d always picked around on the acoustic guitar but really didn’t start singing until I was 24. I started to fall in love with classic country artists like Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, George Jones, and many others while learning how to sing and play. Back in 2016, my Dad and I decided to put a band together with him helping us book shows and do some managing. Inspired by the country and rock music of the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s, the band and I started performing as many shows as we could while holding down day jobs. I kept writing, learning, and we ended up releasing two EP’s in 2017 (Honest Man) and 2019 (You Can Find Me In A Honkytonk). The band and I released our first album in May of 2023 with the help of some friends.
A lifelong passion has taken me from a flatbed trailer at my middle school in 7th grade to performing on the same stages with The Kentucky Headhunters, Jo Dee Messina, Ward Davis, Sarah Evans, The Steel Woods, Mo Pitney, Larry Gatlin, Drake White, and many more. I can’t thank everyone enough for the support over the years and we’ll strive to get better for you.
Come to a show sometime and lets get rowdy.
